Hi,
Has anyone had any use of accelerometers?
I would like to use them to calculate speed underwater.
Reading up on them it appears it is possible to calculate speed using them. The problem is that gravity adds tiny errors into the mix as you are unable to differentiate between gravitational force a velocity.
These tiny errors become huge errors over a short period of time and the data is pretty much useless.
Has anyone used an accelerometer for anything similar??
Would using multiple sensors and averaging results help at all?
